Description
Timeless charm meets thoughtful modern updates in this enchanting 1926 two-story home, beautifully positioned right on the parkway. Rich with character, the home welcomes you with gleaming hardwood floors, original woodwork, and a warm, inviting fireplace that speaks to its enduring craftsmanship. Designed for both everyday comfort and effortless living, this spacious residence offers five bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an additional private ¾ bath connected to the peaceful primary suite. The primary bedroom directly overlooks the parkway through multiple beautiful large windows; it is a true retreat, complete with an oversized walk-in closet. Three bedrooms are located on the upper level, with an additional main-floor bedroom for convenience. The finished lower level offers endless possibilities as a fifth bedroom, recreation room, or additional family/living room. The kitchen has been elegantly updated and features heated floors, while practical improvements throughout the home provide peace of mind, including a 2023 roof, 2022 water heater, drain tile system, and 2023 egress window. Spacious lower-level storage and laundry complete this truly special home where historic elegance and modern comfort live beautifully together. Outdoors, enjoy a fully fenced private backyard completed in 2023, complemented by front and back irrigation systems with in-ground sprinklers for effortless maintenance. A rare attached concrete front porch offers the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening sunsets, while the attached two-car garage—highly uncommon for the neighborhood—adds everyday convenience. There is no alley, contributing to an even more relaxing backyard experience. Lovingly cared for by the same family since the 1990s, this home is surrounded by friendly neighbors and a true sense of community. Just two blocks south, the Minneapolis Park Board hosts Movies & Music on the Parkway throughout the summer, while every seasonal holiday brings festive celebrations and decorations. The seller has begun a pollinator-friendly landscape renovation through the Lawns to Legumes grant program. Newly planted native shrubs and plants, including Northland Blueberry, Dwarf Honeysuckle, Chokecherry, and Rose Mallow, are guaranteed by the nursery through the first winter, and the seller will assist with follow-up if needed. A State Fair apple tree sapling was also added last year. Initial mulch has been completed, with minor touch-ups and sidewalk edging remaining. The yard also features mature Japanese Pagoda, Juneberry/Serviceberry trees, Hydrangea, Rhododendrons, and several large Maples, offering beautiful shade and seasonal color.
